How to reduce the tick population in a meadow, around the house, for a small household on a plot of up to 10 ares?

Ticks can be an unpleasant and even dangerous parasite, especially if they carry diseases or afflict animals. So, to reduce the tick population, you can use the following recommendations:

  1. Keep your environment tidy: ticks like damp, dark, and unkempt places, so preventive measures include keeping your homestead tidy and well-maintained. Cut grass and lawns where ticks could hide, keep flower beds clean, with as much light as possible, and protect the perimeter of the homestead (if possible) with a protective fence to reduce the migration of small and, of course, large animals.
  1. When using chemicals, it is important to pay attention to safety. If you decide to use chemicals, be sure to follow the instructions and pay attention to safety requirements. Before using any chemicals, consult a specialist.
  1. When using plants as tick repellents, you should decide whether you want to use plants that ticks avoid or repel. Avoidance includes various types of nut trees, while horseradish, pepper, and turmeric have repellent properties.
  1. Check your pets regularly. Check your household pets regularly to detect early symptoms of ticks and prevent them. If you can, treat your pets regularly with tick repellents.
  1. Reduce the tick population by reducing the rodent population in the environment, as these animals are one of the main carriers of ticks. Rodent prevention measures include reducing the number of attraction points in your environment, such as: food scraps and various rodent shelters. Also, if rodent activity is noticed, it is necessary to take rodent control measures, such as: poisons and various traps .

Please note that regardless of the tick control method you choose, the most important thing is to carry it out regularly and on time. These recommendations are some of the most important, but if you need more information, you can always contact our specialists or purchase a short description of how to get rid of ticks yourself.
